Adam's really a Waterboy now as he takes his girls to the beach

Despite regularly playing foul-tempered characters with a short fuse, Adam Sandler shows that he's just a big softie when it comes to hitting the beach with his two young daughters.

The actor and film producer, star of films such as The Waterboy and Anger Management, was spotted just outside his Malibu home with his wife Jackie and two daughters Sadie and Sunny.

Sandler, 43, enjoyed skipping stones with his daughters and showed them how to kayak in the ocean, although they may not want to follow his every move - he took a number of heavy duty spills.

Sandler must be getting used to life on the beach. He was taking a break from filming Just Go With It, which is being shot on location in Hawaii.

The film, in which a man enlists the help of a mother and her family to land the woman of his dreams, also stars Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston.

Sandler is also one of the writers of the romantic comedy.

Too much: Youngest daughter Sunny was a little spooked by the motion of the ocean, so Adam was on hand to carry her to safety

It is the first collaboration between Sandler and Friends star Aniston, despite the fact that the pair have known each other since before either was famous.

The two, who have known each other for 20 years, met through mutual friends and supported each other as they were stating out.

Aniston even attended Sandler's wedding to Jackie in 2003.
